My dear Galton: --
Your postcard of Oct 14, just received. I thank you for taking the trouble to reply - You must think me a nuisance to add thus even a letter to your correspondence. But I must tell you of recent events here.
As the enclosed printed matter will show in some detail there has been started her a Record Office in [underscore]Eugenics[end underscore]. - So you see the seed sown by you is still sprouting in distant countries. And there is great interest in Eugenics in America, I can assure you.
We have a plot of ground of 80 acres, near New York City, a house with a fire proof addition for our records. We have a superintendent, a stenographer, and two helpers besides to train field workers. These are all associated with the Station for Experimental Evolution, which supplies Experimental Evidence of the methods of heredity. We have a satisfactory income for a beginning and have established very cordial relations with institutions
